WatkinsWatkins leaves Clemson as a three-time
first-team All-American and the school's record holder in terms of receptions
and reception yards on a game, season and career basis. Even though he played just three years, he
set 23 Clemson records.

"I am very thankful for
the past three years at Clemson University that have enabled me to grow
academically, athletically, and spiritually," said Watkins. "After much prayerful consideration, I have
decided to take the next step in pursuing my lifelong dream of playing in the
NFL.

"I would not have this
opportunity without the support and encouragement of my family, coaches,
teammates, and the best fans in college football. No matter where my next steps
may lead, I will always take pride in the PAW and will forever be a part of the
Clemson family."

Watkins finished his
Clemson career in grand style as he was named the Most Outstanding Player of
the Discover Orange Bowl. He had 16
receptions for 227 yards and two scores in Clemson's 40-35 win over
sixth-ranked Ohio State.

The 16 receptions and
227 receiving yards established a Clemson single game record and an Orange Bowl
record. The 16 receptions also tied an
ACC standard for any game and established a record for a BCS Bowl game. The 227 yards were the second most receiving
yards in any BCS Bowl game.

Watkins finished the
2013 season with 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He broke Clemson records for receptions
in a season (Aaron Kelly 88 in 2007) and receiving yards (DeAndre Hopkins 1,405 in 2012).

Myers, FL was a first-team All-American this year by the American Football
Coaches Association and was a finalist for the 2013 Biletnikoff Award.

Watkins finished his
career with 240 receptions for 3,391 yards and 27 touchdowns. The reception total and yardage total are
Clemson records and the touchdown total tied former teammate DeAndre Hopkins,
who is now with the Houston Texans of the NFL.

He finishes his career
ranked second in ACC history in career receptions and third in reception
yardage. He is tied for eighth in touchdown
receptions and tied for second in 100-yard receiving games with 15. He finished his career with 5,129 all-purpose
yards, second in Clemson history to C.J.
Spiller's 7,588 and ninth in ACC history.

rankings this year, Watkins was seventh in reception yards per game with 112.6,
10th in touchdown receptions with 12, and 11th in
receptions/game with 7.8. He led the
nation in receptions vs. teams with a winning record with 67 and was second in
yardage with 1,009. He was the only player
in the nation with two receptions of at least 90 yards.
